Play: Money Line: -124 Cleveland Indians Pick Title: Ross Benjamin Free Selection
Detroit (Verlander) @ Cleveland (Carmona) 7:05 PM ET

The Detroit starting pitcher Jason Verlander struggled versus the Indians last season going 1-4 in his team starts with a whopping 8.13 ERA. In 5 starts at Cleveland since the 2005 season Verlander has posted a horrible 8.13 ERA and the Tigers lost 4 of those 5 games. The Cleveland starter Carmona was 3-1 in his team starts versus the Tigers in 2007 with a respectable 3.41 ERA. Carmona has shown some early control problems in 2008 but in spite of that has posted an excellent 2.20 ERA in 3 starts. The Indians are 7-1 in their last 8 home games when Carmona is their starting pitcher.

Play on the Cleveland Indians as my free selection of the night.
